A Griceian Phrastic

We've seen that E. Stojanovic, in the ref. in blog post below, online, says she'll say little about Grice, etc.

Here are her references. Recall that we prefer the Greek "phrastic" to the Latinate "dictive" that Grice was amused to use in "Retrospective Epilogue". They say much the same thing. But Greek is a much more florid, and spontaneous language, than Latin as R. M. Hare and H. P. Grice well knew!

----

References to 'floral dictiveness'. Floral dictiveness is T. Wharton's and mine ref. to Griceian uses of 'say' as in "Say it with flowers" -- "I love you".
